Information
has gloss	eng: Highstreet are a kitsch young band from the Outer Hebrides originally composed of Paul Murray, Murdo Caise, Calum Murdo and Columbo. They formed in 1996 and had a minor hit with the single Tell Me Baby which reached no.49 in the UK charts. The success of this single prompted them to record an album. They spent the next 5 months in their home district of Ness on the Isle of Lewis writing material for it but their progress was hampered when drummer and founding member Columbo left the band siting Pauls substance abuse and age difference as his reasons. This created a rift between the remaining members and in their search for a new fourth member the band nearly imploded. Rumours surfaced that local guitarist and Yngwie Malmsteen fan Peadair Smith was to be appointed as a new guitarist but these were unfounded. Eventually however they did find a new fourth member in the shape of keyboardist David Channon. This new found eclecticism gave the band a new edge as they headed in a more pop direction. After a year of bonding time with the new member they went into the studio with producer Donald Eadie and recorded the album, entitled I Wanna Play Bass With Rhinos'.
